robin trilliams 4 Posted January 22, 2019 I was globally banned, is this permanent or temp? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jack Shadow 488 Posted January 22, 2019 Permanent, I would think. You might have to look at some unofficial servers. Unless the ban extends to those also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakydude 143 Posted January 22, 2019 2 minutes ago, robin trilliams said: I was globally banned, is this permanent or temp? Is it on official? and does it say VAC ban? it may be perma ban due to TOS and warnings from the devs they took a strong policy on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you know about the racist thing before hand or were you pretending to be confused. I can see how you might have just seen banned without looking at the reason why, but I am just wondering why you didn’t look at the reason before the first post 58 minutes ago, Captain Jack Shadow said: Permanent, I would think. You might have to look at some unofficial servers. Unless the ban extends to those also. No, since people use their own money to pay for Unofficials wildcard has no control over it. Pretty much why they can do whatever they want on unofficial servers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well said Its mind boggling when people get upset for being punished for being racist in a public game or forum. If you choose to act like a jerk then take your lumps. If it was truly a misunderstanding then appeal it and I'm sure you'll be fine. I doubt that's the case tho. Kids these days think it's funny to be racist. Which is sooooo stupid and childish. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean seriously...how old are you? Do you realize how easy it is to take a screenshot if somebody says something racist, or abusive in chat? Any moron can do it. Or maybe you were doing it in local voice? I can turn on Shadowplay in a split second and record the audio and video very easily, and have it uploaded to YouTube in a private video to share with the devs, and not take long to do that. Why not just play the game? Why do people feel the need to be fucktards in game, to vent their real life frustrations? Sane people go to games to get away from that garbage. I hope you learn from this. There are consequences for being an A-hole. Try not to be one in the future. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ViperGuyMike 18 Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Yeah, I believe the studio is based in the UK where there is no First Amendment and racism is whatever whoever is in charge says it is. Not that it applies in this case anyways. A business owner can and should have the power to control the content on their own servers. However, I don't see why they are banning people for racism but not all of the swearing and religious bigotry? Where is all this fairness and equality I keep hearing the snowflakes preach about? They should ban everyone who offends anyone else, right? That would be really educational! I'm not condoning racism by any means, as I believe ALL are created equal, but I sure as hell wont condone silencing anyone either...I'm a big enough boy to handle it. If you live in the US, just be glad you have have the freedom to say whatever you want, for now at least. Edited January 22, 2019 by ViperGuyMike 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t really have a good reason but it would be cool. So many streamers nowadays or total sjw’s. They ban you for the smallest things. Not even curse words or anything.

Talono 434 Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) A cool new nail in the games coffin. Of course it is fully ok to ban racists and cheaters. But as always, the accused person is not contacted to give him the chance to defend himself against the accusition. It is not like in a democracy, more like in „Judge Dread“, so devs are police and law combined in one person If you are guilty or not will not be checked. So you are always guilty if some clown reports you with a false accusition. Edited January 22, 2019 by Talono Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you live in the US, just be glad you have have the freedom to say whatever you want, for now at least. Actually they are based in Washington. I find it confusing that that you don't see why a company offering a live service bans people for racism... or why you seem to think racism can be equated with swearing... for fuck sake dude... You rant about snowflakes and personal freedoms... but it sounds like you really just want to be free to be a dick. I couldn't see a handy link to the Atlas code of conduct, so here's a quote from Ark's:https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/code-of-conduct/ Misconduct Behaviour, Chat, and Interaction With Others Interactions with other players or Studio Wildcard employees through text chat, voice chat, and signs or paintings must adhere to the rules below and you cannot use an alternative spelling to circumvent restrictions. Ensure that you do not: > Offend - this includes but is not limited to language which is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, hateful, sexually explicit, or racially, ethnically or otherwise offensive. > Post Personal Information - belonging to someone else in the game, or any Official websites or forums related to the game. > Harass, Stalk, Threaten - such as sending repeated unsolicited or unwelcome messages to specific users/tribes and can include but not limited to those sexual in nature or messages that would cause discomfort. > Disrupt the game - such as intentionally causing the chat screen to scroll faster than other users are able to read, or setting up macros with large amounts of text that, when used, have a disruptive effect on the normal flow of Chat. > Promote - do not send messages which are advertisements for inappropriate topics, including scamming, hacking, exploits or the sale of goods and services unless trading within the game for game specific resources, for example, 50 Stone for 1 Polymer, A trike for a Rex, etc. > Real-money trading (RMT) - ARK items, creatures, or services must only be exchanged for other items, creatures, or services within the game. Trading for real-world currency (real money) is not an accepted form of trading. Edited January 22, 2019 by tateybread spelling 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not a democracy they own and run the game.. if they chose to ban someone for being racist or cheating then that's up to them. Players should not do things like that. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dorf 73 Posted January 22, 2019 3 hours ago, NMR said: Ofcourse i see the problem. But isnt it funny tbh. The devs only takes action when they are flamed. They do nothing about all other things that actually players are worried about. I personally play this game solo. How hard is it for a dev to enter admin mode ingame and for an example give an ship that took a week to build back to someone that lost it to the yellow gook midget kim jong un wannabe chinese fucktards with small willys that sunked it due to the weight exploit. Its things like that and other broken things that made me flame the hell out of these p12 devs that cant do anything right. So yes. I hope they all die in cancer. I paid for this. I choose a pve server to sail around and have fun. I havent had anything fun in this game only being frustrated to all exploiters and cheaters. And devs doesnt care. You need a mirror badly. You are so toxic I need to take a shower just from hitting the quote button. Its angry and vitriolic people like you that make this world suck. Learn to be helpful not toxic. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
